You have a molecule. Something that will "stay put" probably written on a "2d" surface like Graphene. Graphene is composed of lots of little hexagons. Each side of the hexagon can be broken and have an atom attached to i

Servers do this all the time. Temperature change is harder on hardware than electrons flowing through it. They get replaced every 4 years or so, so very few die of chip failure. It is not like we are overclocking them.

Cali is one of those states. So you can't be a very good food safety manager. Citation included above. Agreed lots of things scarier than Hep A. But there isn't a vaccine for E. Coli or Salmonella.
